Trumpeter 05748: 1:700 USS Quincy CA-39 waterline cruiser details

This 1:700 scale waterline plastic kit models the USS Quincy (CA-39) as a compact cruiser subject suitable for modellers planning display layout and case fitting.

The New Orleans class were treaty-era heavy cruisers constructed between the world wars and operated extensively during World War II. Their standard displacement was roughly 10,000 tons and rose to over 12,000 tons at full load after wartime modifications. The class received repeated refits to improve radar and anti-aircraft armament and participated in major Pacific actions, earning battle honors during the campaign against Japan.

The kit reproduces the ship in MS 12 Modified Camouflage and focuses on accurate external fittings and profile. Build steps include standard sub-assembly of hull halves, decks, and superstructure; sprues are arranged across several frames and a separate waterline plate is included. A decal sheet supplies the markings for the ship as specified.

A compact 1:700 waterline cruiser kit that suits modellers seeking an accurate New Orleans class profile with a simplified upper-hull assembly for tidy display integration.
